Sluisbuurt is a neighborhood in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands. It scores 6.9 out of 10 overall — good — based on AI analysis of satellite and street-level imagery across five categories. That puts it 31st of the 35 areas measured in Amsterdam, in the lower half of the list.
The strongest measurements here are community spaces (9.8/10), road connectivity (9.6/10) and climate comfort (8.3/10) — community spaces is the highest single reading on the page.
The weakest are cultural life (2.5/10), street life (3.5/10) and spatial comfort (4.0/10). A low reading is not automatically a dealbreaker — cultural life matters far more to some people than others — but it is where Sluisbuurt gives up ground against better-scoring areas.
Nature covers greenery, air and water quality, and the natural features around the streets. Sluisbuurt scores 6.5/10 here, which holds up.
Underneath it: green spaces 6.9, environmental quality 6.4 and natural features 6.0, each out of 10.
Anthropos covers how the place feels to a person standing in it — space, privacy, scale and street life. Sluisbuurt scores 6.1/10 here, which is unremarkable.
Underneath it: spatial comfort 4.0, privacy 5.0, human scale 7.0, street life 3.5 and climate comfort 8.3. The gap between climate comfort and street life is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Shells covers the buildings themselves: their condition, design and upkeep. Sluisbuurt scores 6.6/10 here, which holds up.
Underneath it: building condition 7.0, architectural quality 6.0 and upkeep 7.0.
Society covers the shared side of a place — meeting spots, services, culture and safety. Sluisbuurt scores 6.5/10 here, which holds up.
Underneath it: community spaces 9.8, social infrastructure 5.7, cultural life 2.5 and public safety 8.0. The gap between community spaces and cultural life is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Public safety and civic governance are measured at national level rather than street by street, so those two read the same across every area in Netherlands — treat them as background conditions, not a verdict on this particular block.
Networks covers how easily you get out of the area and reach what you need. Sluisbuurt scores 8.7/10 here, which stands out.
Underneath it: transit access 7.7 and road connectivity 9.6. The gap between road connectivity and transit access is what shapes the category — the area is much better at one than the other.
Scores are only useful next to what you actually want from a place. Pulling out the measurements that tend to decide it:
If outdoor and shared space matter to you, both score above average: green spaces 6.9/10, community spaces 9.8/10.
Transit access scores 7.7/10, above average for public transport options.
This page is built from 1 analysis of Sluisbuurt. Each analysis reads satellite and street-level imagery for the area, scores the five categories above, and the page shows the average.
Scores are a starting point, not a substitute for standing on the street. They are consistent — every area is measured the same way, so comparing two of them is meaningful — but they cannot tell you about a noisy neighbour, a good landlord or a bad bus route. The community section on this page is where residents fill in that sort of detail.
